SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

A Mobrey ultrasonic liquid levelcontrol comprises:� A tank mounted sensor containingtransmitter and receiver crystals� An RF sensor drive and detectorelectronic circuit, which may beintegral with the sensor or mountedadjacent to the sensor dependingupon vessel conditions or accessconsiderations.� A control unit mounted remotely tomonitor the sensor state and providethe required switching function

CHOICE OF SENSORMOBREY GAP SENSORSMobrey gap sensors energise a relayoutput when there is a liquid presentbetween the transmitter and receivercrystals of the sensor. In this way,absense of liquid, power failure ordamage to plant cabling will result inan alarm condition.Gap sensors are fail-safe low level.Typical applications� Pump protection� Vessel empty protection� Foam/froth detection� Pump control

MOBREY HI-SENS SENSORSMobrey Hi-sens sensors operate in areverse manner. The transmitter andreceiver crystals communicate aroundthe wall of the sensor when it is dry.Presence of liquid around the sensordamps out the 'ringing' of the sensorand an alarm condition is thensignalled.Mobrey Hi-sens is therefore failsafehigh level and will signal an alarmcondition on presence of liquid,power failure or damage to plantcabling.Typical applications� High level alarm� Overfill prevention� Leak detection

Ultrasonic sensor operation can beadversely affected by the presense ofexcessive aeration, solids or foam in theliquid. If you have an applicationquery contact Mobrey for expertadvice on the selection of a suitableliquid level detection systemSensors may be mounted in anyposition to signal liquid presence.

INTERFACE DETECTION AND SLUDGE MEASUREMENTUltrasonic technology can be used todiscriminate between immiscibleliquids, to indicate the interface andto detect and monitor suspendedsolids.Interface detectionFor interface detection betweenimmiscible liquids, two techniques areavailable: ultrasonic attenuation andultrasonic reflection.Both techniques use standard Mobreyliquid level control electronic systems.Suitable sensors for interfacemonitoring, are typically the largergap types, that is 150mm upwards.Interface detection by attenuation

Ultrasonic attenuation is thereduction in energy of the beam as itis transmitted through the liquid.Viscous liquids, emulsions and liquidswith entrained solids generally have ahigher ultrasonic attenuation than lowviscosity clear liquids such as water.When the attenuation difference issufficient, the amplifier gain can beadjusted so that the ultrasound beampasses through the less attenuativeliquid but is stopped by the moreattenuative liquid. The output relaycan then be set to monitor whichliquid is in the gap.

The ultrasonic attenuation of a liquiddepends on many factors, the mainones being the complexity of themolecule, followed by the viscosity,assuming there is no aeration. Manyliquids can be distinguished by thistechnique and for furtherinformation on previously testedliquid systems consult our technicalsales. If samples of the liquids areavailable then a simple site test canoften be done.Interface detection by reflection

When two immiscible liquids havesimilar attenuations the abovemethod cannot be used, however it islikely that the velocity of ultrasoundwill be different. In this case a beamof ultrasound passing through theinterface will be reflected andrefracted and if the sensor isarranged at a shallow angle the effectis that the transmitted beam tends tomiss the receiver and is thuseffectively attenuated. An angle of10 degrees is chosen and often thisresults in total internal reflection ofthe transmitted beam. Thus when theinterface is within the gap of theangled sensor, very little ultrasoundreaches the receiver, but when the

interface is above or below the sensor (iein either liquid) then there is a largesignal present. The control unit gain isset to actuate the relay when theinterface is in the gap. Note thiscondition will also occur if the upperliquid drains away and air (gas) is in thegap. Note for further information onsuitability of this application consult ourtechnical sales.Suspended solids measurementSolids suspended in a liquid will scatterultrasonic beams, causing attenuation.This attenuation depends on the size andnature of the particles and for typicalsewage sludges it is possible to useMobrey ultrasonic systems to detect 1%to 15% w/w. Industrial slurries such asfine pottery slips can often be measuredto 65%, but coarse granular material isoften very attenuative. Leaflet IP250gives details of Mobrey sludgemeasurement systems.Equipment for interface and sludgemonitoringTypically sensors with gaps of 150mm orlarger are used for interface and sludgemeasurement. These sensors arestandard types 402, 433 and the 442 (apair of sensors for mounting across oralong a pipe section). Special flangedsensors with the 10 degree tilt built inare also available. Generally thesesensors work at 3.7MHz and arecompatible with Electropulse andElectrosensor electronics or plantmounted MCU200 electronics.

MULTIPOINT & SPECIAL COMBINATION SENSORSSpecial sensorsSpecial combinations of sensors areproduced for specific applications -e.g. combined sludge blanketdetectors, pump controls and veryhigh level alarms. Such combinationsare designed and engineered for eachindividual application, whether forshipboard high level alarms, wasteprocessing plants or reservoir controlsystems. Contact the sales office forfurther information.Multipoint sensorsUltrasonic sensors are easilycombined into multi-pointtransducers for two level pumpcontrol or combined high and low

level alarms.Typical standard sensors are:Model HD - A two point dual highlevel sensor using two Hi-sens HLsensors. This is typically used for95% and 98% high level alarm onmarine cargo tankers, for outlinedimensions see page 9.Model 373 - A multipoint version ofthe 393 sensors, with up to 6switching levels.Fitting: ¾" BSPT from inside thevessel.

ELECTROSENSOR SYSTEMS

DESCRIPTIONAn Electrosensor system comprises an ultrasonic sensorwith associated 'head' electronics, which are eithermounted directly on the sensor or in an adjacent wallmounting box, and control room electronics. Connection

Principle of operationThe twisted pair supplies a DC voltage from the controlelectronics to the sensor. The current drawn by the sensoris used to signal the sensor state. This current signalling isdetected by a trip amplifier in the control electronics.The control electronics include a fault monitoring circuitto detect if the current drawn is outside preset limits, suchas would occur on cable breakage or short circuit.Electrosensor can be used in all areas of the plant. Someusers may prefer to provide their own supply and alarmcircuits.Electrosensors are fully system certified to accommodatethis need, enabling connection to PLC or other controlcircuits via standard Zener safety barriers when the sensoris in a hazardous area.

SECTION 5 - ELECTROPULSE SYSTEMS

Electropulse systems provide theultimate in fail safe liquid level alarm.Standard sensors are fitted with ahead amplifier which communicateswith a control room unit usingstandard twisted pair instrument wire.Using a gap sensor for low level anda Hi-Sens for high level, a system isconstructed such that any failure:mechanical, electronic or in thecommunication line, causes thesystem to fail safe.

Electropulse control room mountedelecronics provide front panel LEDindication of the level sensor status,plus a change-over relay output, ratedat over 500VA, to control pumps,alarms or signal to the controller. Thegreen LED labelled "NORMAL"indicates that the sensor is in itsoscillating condition. For all gapsensors the oscillating condition isthe wet condition, for Hi-Senssensors this is dry (see over). The redLED indicates that the sensor is notoscillating, which is defined as"Alarm".A further LED, yellow, indicates a"Fault" condition, resulting fromplant cabling faults or head amplifierdamage to either of these causes thecurrent in the control loop to deviatefrom normal value. The faultcondition automatically triggers thealarm relay and the red alarm LED.The Electropulse MEP1R units arecards suitable for mounting in thestandard 19" MEP1B rack, up to 14units per rack. These MEP1R cardsare available with either SPCO orDPCO alarm relay and a separate

SPCO fault relay. The ElectropulseMEP1L units are single units housedin a plastic case, suitable for wall,panel or DIN rail mounting..These units are only available withone combined DPCO alarm/faultrelay.For hazardous area operation theMEP1R and MEP1L units haveintrinsically safe sensor outputconnections. When used with theappropriate sensor, the system isapproved intrinsically safe toBASEEFA and CENELECstandards.Plant cablingThe Electropulse control roomreadout units are connected by atwisted pair instrument cable,preferably screened, to theElectropulse head amplifier. Thistwisted pair provides approximately12 Volt DC at 15mA to power thehead amplifier and sensor: currentpulses of 2mA at approximately240Hz signal that the sensor is in theoscillating or NORMAL state. TheALARM state is indicated byconstant current drain. Loopresistant of the two wire cable mustbe less than 35 ohms. The audiocurrent signalling provides a noiseand RF interference resisitanttransmission over long distances.Head amplifierElectropulse head amplifiers providethe necessary interface between theultrasonic liquid level sensor and thecontrol room electronics.

The head amplifier is either mounteddirectly onto the sensor or ismounted on the plant close to thesensor. The head amplifier is a tunedRF amplifier at either 1 MHz or 3.7MHz to suit the sensor. When theattentuation between transmitter andreceiver piezoelectric crystals is lowenough, the amplifier oscillates. Thisis the NORMAL or oscillatingcondition of the sensor. Theoscillation frequency is divided downby normal digital circuitry until asquare wave at around 240 Hz isobtained. This is used to switch the2mA current drain on and off acrossthe supply line from the control unit.Head amplifiers are available inIP66/IP67 aluminium housings andIP68 gunmental housings whenmounted on the sensor and in anIP65 polycarbonate box for plantmounting adjacent to the sensor.Optionally available, a push to testswitch on the head amplifier allowsan operator to simulate alarmconditions, for shutdown testing.Other options include two separatehead amplifiers in one IP68 housing,and stainless steel housing material."Normal" sensor stateFor gap sensors, the NORMALcondition occurs when the sensor isimmersed in liquid. Hi-Sens sensorsoscillate and give NORMALindications when the sensor is in air,dry. The NORMAL condition withan active oscillating sensor is the beststate for a level alarm system, sinceall components are energised andactive. Such a system is 'fail safe'.
